Description

"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Style *reax* computes the ReaxFF potential of van Duin, Goddard and
|
|
co-workers. ReaxFF uses distance-dependent bond-order functions to
|
|
represent the contributions of chemical bonding to the potential
|
|
energy. There is more than one version of ReaxFF. The version
|
|
implemented in LAMMPS uses the functional forms documented in the
|
|
supplemental information of the following paper:
|
|
:ref:`(Chenoweth) <Chenoweth_2008>`. The version integrated into LAMMPS matches
|
|
the most up-to-date version of ReaxFF as of summer 2010.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: pair style reax is now deprecated and will soon be retired. Users
|
|
should switch to :doc:`pair_style reax/c <pair_reax_c>`. The *reax* style
|
|
differs from the *reax/c* style in the lo-level implementation details.
|
|
The *reax* style is a
|
|
Fortran library, linked to LAMMPS. The *reax/c* style was initially
|
|
implemented as stand-alone C code and is now integrated into LAMMPS as
|
|
a package.
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS requires that a file called ffield.reax be provided, containing
|
|
the ReaxFF parameters for each atom type, bond type, etc. The format
|
|
is identical to the ffield file used by van Duin and co-workers. The
|
|
filename is required as an argument in the pair_coeff command. Any
|
|
value other than "ffield.reax" will be rejected (see below).
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS provides several different versions of ffield.reax in its
|
|
potentials dir, each called potentials/ffield.reax.label. These are
|
|
documented in potentials/README.reax. The default ffield.reax
|
|
contains parameterizations for the following elements: C, H, O, N.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
We do not distribute a wide variety of ReaxFF force field files
|
|
with LAMMPS. Adri van Duin's group at PSU is the central repository
|
|
for this kind of data as they are continuously deriving and updating
|
|
parameterizations for different classes of materials. You can submit
|
|
a contact request at the Materials Computation Center (MCC) website
|
|
`https://www.mri.psu.edu/materials-computation-center/connect-mcc <https://www.mri.psu.edu/materials-computation-center/connect-mcc>`_,
|
|
describing the material(s) you are interested in modeling with ReaxFF.
|
|
They can tell
|
|
you what is currently available or what it would take to create a
|
|
suitable ReaxFF parameterization.
|
|
|
|
The format of these files is identical to that used originally by van
|
|
Duin. We have tested the accuracy of *pair_style reax* potential
|
|
against the original ReaxFF code for the systems mentioned above. You
|
|
can use other ffield files for specific chemical systems that may be
|
|
available elsewhere (but note that their accuracy may not have been
|
|
tested).
|
|
|
|
The *hbcut*\ , *hbnewflag*\ , *tripflag*\ , and *precision* settings are
|
|
optional arguments. If none are provided, default settings are used:
|
|
*hbcut* = 6 (which is Angstroms in real units), *hbnewflag* = 1 (use
|
|
new hbond function style), *tripflag* = 1 (apply stabilization to all
|
|
triple bonds), and *precision* = 1.0e-6 (one part in 10^6). If you
|
|
wish to override any of these defaults, then all of the settings must
|
|
be specified.
|
|
|
|
Two examples using *pair_style reax* are provided in the examples/reax
|
|
sub-directory, along with corresponding examples for
|
|
:doc:`pair_style reax/c <pair_reax_c>`. Note that while the energy and force
|
|
calculated by both of these pair styles match very closely, the
|
|
contributions due to the valence angles differ slightly due to
|
|
the fact that with *pair_style reax/c* the default value of *thb_cutoff_sq*
|
|
is 0.00001, while for *pair_style reax* it is hard-coded to be 0.001.
|
|
|
|
Use of this pair style requires that a charge be defined for every
|
|
atom since the *reax* pair style performs a charge equilibration (QEq)
|
|
calculation. See the :doc:`atom_style <atom_style>` and
|
|
:doc:`read_data <read_data>` commands for details on how to specify
|
|
charges.
|
|
|
|
The thermo variable *evdwl* stores the sum of all the ReaxFF potential
|
|
energy contributions, with the exception of the Coulombic and charge
|
|
equilibration contributions which are stored in the thermo variable
|
|
*ecoul*\ . The output of these quantities is controlled by the
|
|
:doc:`thermo <thermo>` command.
|
|
|
|
This pair style tallies a breakdown of the total ReaxFF potential
|
|
energy into sub-categories, which can be accessed via the :doc:`compute pair <compute_pair>` command as a vector of values of length 14.
|
|
The 14 values correspond to the following sub-categories (the variable
|
|
names in italics match those used in the ReaxFF FORTRAN library):
|
|
|
|
1. *eb* = bond energy
|
|
2. *ea* = atom energy
|
|
3. *elp* = lone-pair energy
|
|
4. *emol* = molecule energy (always 0.0)
|
|
5. *ev* = valence angle energy
|
|
6. *epen* = double-bond valence angle penalty
|
|
7. *ecoa* = valence angle conjugation energy
|
|
8. *ehb* = hydrogen bond energy
|
|
9. *et* = torsion energy
|
|
10. *eco* = conjugation energy
|
|
11. *ew* = van der Waals energy
|
|
12. *ep* = Coulomb energy
|
|
13. *efi* = electric field energy (always 0.0)
|
|
14. *eqeq* = charge equilibration energy
|
|
|
|
To print these quantities to the log file (with descriptive column
|
|
headings) the following commands could be included in an input script:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
compute reax all pair reax
|
|
variable eb equal c_reax[1]
|
|
variable ea equal c_reax[2]
|
|
...
|
|
variable eqeq equal c_reax[14]
|
|
thermo_style custom step temp epair v_eb v_ea ... v_eqeq
|
|
|
|
Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the *reax* style which
|
|
specifies a ReaxFF potential file with parameters for all needed
|
|
elements. These are mapped to LAMMPS atom types by specifying N
|
|
additional arguments after the filename in the pair_coeff command,
|
|
where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:
|
|
|
|
* filename
|
|
* N indices = mapping of ReaxFF elements to atom types
|
|
|
|
The specification of the filename and the mapping of LAMMPS atom types
|
|
recognized by the ReaxFF is done differently than for other LAMMPS
|
|
potentials, due to the non-portable difficulty of passing character
|
|
strings (e.g. filename, element names) between C++ and Fortran.
|
|
|
|
The filename has to be "ffield.reax" and it has to exist in the
|
|
directory you are running LAMMPS in. This means you cannot prepend a
|
|
path to the file in the potentials dir. Rather, you should copy that
|
|
file into the directory you are running from. If you wish to use
|
|
another ReaxFF potential file, then name it "ffield.reax" and put it
|
|
in the directory you run from.
|
|
|
|
In the ReaxFF potential file, near the top, after the general
|
|
parameters, is the atomic parameters section that contains element
|
|
names, each with a couple dozen numeric parameters. If there are M
|
|
elements specified in the *ffield* file, think of these as numbered 1
|
|
to M. Each of the N indices you specify for the N atom types of LAMMPS
|
|
atoms must be an integer from 1 to M. Atoms with LAMMPS type 1 will
|
|
be mapped to whatever element you specify as the first index value,
|
|
etc. If a mapping value is specified as NULL, the mapping is not
|
|
performed. This can be used when a ReaxFF potential is used as part
|
|
of the *hybrid* pair style. The NULL values are placeholders for atom
|
|
types that will be used with other potentials.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Currently the reax pair style cannot be used as part of the
|
|
*hybrid* pair style. Some additional changes still need to be made to
|
|
enable this.
|
|
|
|
As an example, say your LAMMPS simulation has 4 atom types and the
|
|
elements are ordered as C, H, O, N in the *ffield* file. If you want
|
|
the LAMMPS atom type 1 and 2 to be C, type 3 to be N, and type 4 to be
|
|
H, you would use the following pair_coeff command:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
pair_coeff * * ffield.reax 1 1 4 2
|
|

**Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info**\ :
|
|
|
|
This pair style does not support the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>`
|
|
mix, shift, table, and tail options.
|
|
|
|
This pair style does not write its information to :doc:`binary restart files <restart>`, since it is stored in potential files. Thus, you
|
|
need to re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands in an input
|
|
script that reads a restart file.
|
|
|
|
This pair style can only be used via the *pair* keyword of the
|
|
:doc:`run_style respa <run_style>` command. It does not support the
|
|
*inner*\ , *middle*\ , *outer* keywords.

The ReaxFF potential files provided with LAMMPS in the potentials

|
directory are parameterized for real :doc:`units <units>`. You can use
|
|
the ReaxFF potential with any LAMMPS units, but you would need to
|
|
create your own potential file with coefficients listed in the
|
|
appropriate units if your simulation doesn't use "real" units.
